A vintage bronze sculpture, Eva, after the original sculpture by Auguste Rodin, French, 1840 to 1917, modelled in 1881. Signed, A. Rodin, on a base. Marked, Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris, on the base. Mounted on a rectangular shaped base. Circa: the second half of the 20th century. Eve is a nude sculpture, it shows Eve despairing after the Fall. Rodin intended Eve and the towering Adam to flank his monumental bronze doorway, The Gates of Hell. As an independent sculpture, Eve is a physical manifesto of remorse; her body twisted in suffering, her face imprisoned within a gesture of anguish. The bronze casts of Adam and Eve were commissioned for The Met in 1910 from plaster models in the sculptors studio.
